O For Abraham's Faith

Representative Text

1 Oh, for a faith that will not wait
Till it can understand;
But will, in face of dangers great,
Go forth at God’s command.

2 A faith that does, as well as says;
That trusts, thru calm and storm;
That knows that He who promises
Is able to perform.

3 A faith that asks not How or Why;
But hastens to obey;
Though idols crash, and hopes all die,
And friends all turn away.
